PGM is all set for February. This month, we're playing through a game known as Eevee's Tile Trial. If you wish to earn rewards, please head over to our event thread by clicking on the provided link and give yourself a shot at the game!

Hey Unregistered! How fast can you game? The Marathon II is up and running in Video Game's - compete against your friends to see how quickly you can complete sixty intense in-game challenges. See you there!

That quest looks awesome, G! I'll start with Snivy, although whether he's blue or green is debatable. I'm doing more Pikachu as I speak, hoping to hit 1500 by the end of the week.

I hope you all had a nice leap day, SHC! :cer_boogie: It's awesome getting an extra day to hunt! :D

Today begins March, which means... *drumroll*

IT'S TIME FOR THE MARCH CONTEST!

To win, you must catch or hatch 2 green shinies. The shinies may have any amount of green, ranging from 0.1% of total body mass to being an icky green blob. *glances at shiny Tangela*

...

"lol" I cloned myself so that I could hunt for shinies multiple times at once! Even as we speak, there are several G-Moneys out there dual hunting while I type this post. Too bad I didn't consider the fact that none of the other G-Money shiny collections would count for mine... :/

...

Yes, welcome to the club! I don't think the Pokemart gifts can be shiny, although I'm not totally sure on that. I know that the Victini can't, but I can't say with certainty about the others. (I didn't even know there was a Jirachi event, "lol''.

Like I just said, that quest is awesome! I plan to do extra hunting on St Patrick's day, probably while drinking those green McDonalds milkshakes. :cer_laugh:

That's a good idea! I may try cloning myself along with my DS, see if I can get more hunting done.

I know from months of RNG that the Pokemart gifts cannot be shiny. However,
the ones where you go to an island to catch the Pokemon normally (Mew, Deoxys, Darkrai, Shaymin, Spear Pillar Arceus), can be shiny by SRing that Pokemon.

ARs are acceptable for teleporting to event Pokemon that you could never get otherwise. This includes Mew, Deoxys, and Arceus only - no one else. In any other situation, ARs are not acceptable.

I need to clear something up here. Doesn't this also include Darkrai and Shaymin also? I need them for my Sinnoh SR quest, and I intend to get to them via AR. I am going to do this even if for some reason it is not acceptable, since it is for my private quest and not an official one, but I for one believe Darkrai and Shaymin should be accepted, especially since tweaking is not possible in Platinum.

Well, bye everyone, good luck!

NOTE: My last post contained everything before the first G-Money quote. I deleted it because I realized after I posted that I needed to quote him, and I wanted to avoid double posting, as there is no way to edit a quote into a post.

I will be doing this (hopefully)! As SS said, it's debatable whether Snivy is blue or green, but yeah xD I was also hunting Shiny Tangela too, so I might return to that if I get one of my SR targets (hopefully articuno) done soon.

So I have changed my target from yanma to slugma, since I think a magcargo is what my team needs more... but I can't wait for that silver slug! Optimistically I would say I am at about... 50 eggs? maybe more?

When i have my slug (presuming it is still march) I will join into that monthly contest. Two of my team members were going to be green (surprise surprise) so it sounds like fun!

@TheShinyEevee I will hopefully be trying to get the blob of green vines known as tangela too (after slugma) wanna race?

Probably! I defintely will if you're still hunting it when I am, but I really don't know how long Snivy's gonna take, and I'm gonna try to get Articuno on the same LG file first, hopefully. So it may not be March when I hunt it at all, unless someone spills luck on me!
THanks for the offer, though! Hopefully I can :D

Well, quick update, I was able to download an HG Kyogre off PokeCheck, so I'm now SRing Razquaza just to troll TSE, who can't get WiFi to her game. So, 20 Rayquaza. Was also able to get a bit more in on my other hunts, 464 Snivy in Black, 185 Eevee in Platinum, and my SoulSilver hunts are kind of all over the place, Pikachu's at 1262, also doing Rayquaza as mentioned above, when I'm done both I might reset it and do starters, or I might do the Union cave Lapras first, I don't know. Bye everyone, and hope this wasn't a junk post!

Update:
2345 Snivy! Hehehe funny number :D
And also, I need to train my shiny-catching-smeargle, so I decided to throw it in the daycare with my Japanese Ditto while I do that. Maybe a Shiny Smeargle soon? *Hopeful*

1670 - Charmander
Just dropping by to ask a quick question...
Does fishing count for the Encounter portion of the Yearly Shiny Quest? If it does I will fish on (Unova) Route 18 for finneon or horsea (or chinchou but it only has a 1% encounter rate) either way i would be happy with any of them, but I would be most happy with Charmander.
Anyway good luck to everybody on their respective hunts

I was looking on serebii for green shinies and i think i know which two im gonna try and get Jigglypuff(green eyes) and Teddiursa(whole body green) so i might start trying to get one of those in about week.

Shiny Snivy! I named him Link, after all, and I might change it at some point. I don't know.
He was in the 2409th egg... I want to say finally but I know this wasn't a really huge hunt haha! I guess this means I win... :D

I have just finished training my shiny catcher in 4th gen.
He's a LV. 50 as of current Parasect with False Swipe, Spore, Stun Spore, and a last move that's still open.
I'm using him for Rayquaza and Pikachu, and plan to do Giratina with him too once I get that far.

I'm sorry to hear about the shiny Electrode, HaloSonic. The first shiny I ever encountered was a Geodude that Selfdestructed, so I know the feeling.

I've decided to hatch Druddigon and Marill for the monthly contest. I will suspend my Sandile hunt when I reach 200 (currently at 168), and skip Riolu. Several months ago I bred a Marill with Aqua Jet and a Totodile with Ice Punch and Aqua Jet on SoulSilver and transferred them over to White with the plan to MM them someday. I'm finally getting around to Marill, and I'll probably spend some time MMing Totodile too. I plan on breeding Fire Fang and Sucker Punch on Druddigon.

So I decide to hunt a bug Pokemon in the bug contest in my crystal I not going tell you just yet. But it has a 4% chance of showing and it green right for my 2nd march madness shiny hopefully he show on near close to 2000-2500 RE.

Congratulations on the magby and the snivy! Sorry about the electrode, that stinks!
So an update.
Basically I have just been hatching slugma (I'm hatching them right now as we speak) and then meandering around the bug catching contest whenever it occurs...
I think after slugma and tangela, I will go for a shiny pinsir. It's slowly growing on me.
I'd like to think I have hatched a little over 500 slugma eggs, since I can breed/hatch around thirty in an hour, its been around four days...
Unfortunately, MMing is not growing on me. I think I prefer SRing and REing since they feel like they go faster and i don't have to pay as much attention to the game... MMing feels like I'm stuck in traffic, while REing/SRing feels like I'm driving on the highway, even if it takes longer haha.
Good luck to everyone!

Yes! I probably should've mentioned that in the post about the Quest. I'll edit that into posts. For example, Eevee counts for the contest, but only if you evolve it into Espeon, Leafeon, or Jolteon (??).

The reason Shaymin and Darkrai aren't counted for club contests when gotten by teleporting with AR is because it's possible to get them legally on mainstream games. But we'll still wish you good luck!

Also, you can edit a quote into a post! Go quote the post and do whatever you do as if you were making a new post, but before hitting the post button, copy everything, go back to your post, edit, and paste it at the end!

Back again.... another shiny encounter.... failed.... all because of this.... THING that selfedestruched in my face!!!!
it even has a trollface on it!

Congrats!! That's an insanely, ridiculously long hunt: the odds for the Odd Egg are 1/7!! 105 is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over average (1500%!!)! To put that in perspective, you did the equivalent of 122,880 SRs/REs!!

Also, I never mentioned that the contests don't include 2nd gen games, so your hunting in Crystal is fine through the end of March. I'll make sure to put it in the rules for next contest, but because I forgot to, you get to hunt there for the rest of the month.
